Datamonitor’s new report “European Mutual Funds 2002” is a fully standardized analysis of the mutual funds industry in sixteen European countries. The purpose of the report is to identify the market opportunities that are associated with the growth and fundamental re-shaping of European mutual funds (changes in taxation and pension regulations across Europe, which enabled mutual funds to become a widely recognized savings instrument). This report consequently gives a complete and comprehensive overview of where European retail investors in mutual funds channeled their assets in the period 1996-2000. In addition the new report “European Mutual Funds 2002” provides forecasts for market sizes and growths of the mutual product sectors in sixteen European countries to 2005.
